What clients ask before getting started

Yes. The firm works with individuals, families, self-employed professionals, and business owners who need filing, bookkeeping, payroll, or IRS support.
Tax filing
Prepare your return with confidence
Good preparation starts with the right records, a clear timeline, and guidance that matches the complexity of your return.
Bring your prior-year return, W-2s, 1099s, income records, deduction or expense records, identification, dependent details, and any IRS or state notices you received.
Yes. Libre Tax Service helps self-employed clients, contractors, 1099 earners, and taxpayers with multi-state filing requirements.
Timing depends on the complexity of your return, how many forms are involved, and how complete your records are. Simple returns can move quickly, while business, multi-state, or IRS-related matters often take longer.
IRS & notices
Get help before small tax problems become larger ones
If you received an IRS letter, audit notice, or balance-due notice, early review can make a meaningful difference.
Yes. Libre Tax Service helps clients respond to IRS notices, audits, balances due, installment agreements, penalty issues, and related tax resolution matters.
Keep every notice you received and schedule a consultation as soon as possible. Early review helps identify deadlines, required responses, and the best path forward.
Pricing & process
Know what to expect before work begins
Clear pricing and a straightforward process help clients move forward without confusion.
Pricing depends on the type of return, number of forms, number of states involved, bookkeeping cleanup needs, and whether you also need IRS help. Pricing is explained clearly before work begins.
During the consultation, the team reviews your tax situation, notices, filings, or bookkeeping needs, identifies priorities, and recommends the right service path for your case.
Gather as many income records and notices as you can. The team can help prioritize which years need attention first and explain how those filings connect to any current IRS issue.
